Our magazine began in 2003 as a quarterly update of Forum news called simply SRF Newsletter. It was renamed the SRF Review in 2007 and became a twice yearly magazine with more editorial content and colour. In 2013 the name became Scotland Russia Review and in 2016 the name changed again, to The FORUM, and content was targeted more at our members and supporters. All members receive a copy by post (or email if preferred) and copies are available to others on request.
